ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

THE UNE STUDENT HANDBOOK STATES:
The University of New England (UNE) values academic integrity in all aspects of the educational experience. Any behavior that provides a student with an advantage or provides another student with another advantage or disadvantage may be considered academic misconduct.
Academic misconduct in any form undermines academic integrity and devalues the original works and contributions of others. It is the responsibility of all members of the university community to actively uphold academic integrity.
